Sunday Sermonette: Plastic Jesus

[bill_sheehan]

I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
As long as I’ve got my plastic Jesus
Riding’ on the dashboard of my car.
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nation
With my plastic Jesus I’ll go far.

- the appropriately named Billy Idol

I've always been partial to the Right Reverend Dr. Billy Sol Hargis version, one of the most famed personas of Don Imus back when he was funny. First three lines are the same, but then his version reads:

I can go a hundred miles an hour
Long as I've got the Almighty Power
Glued up there
By my pair
Of fuzzy dice

Billy Sol had some pretty good scripted bits, one of which became the title track of a comedy album of his I still have in iTunes (back between when he ceased to be funny and got fired for being a bigot):

One sacred chicken to go,
One with a heavenly glow,
One that's religious,
One that's delicious
So sacred it won't dirty your dishes

The kids will be tickled to dickens
When mom brings home one of Billy's chickens
Don't cook tonight,
Call Hebrew Delight,
And for you folks in the south,
The meat is all white.....
